 <<  Yesaya 5 >> 

1I shall sing for my beloved my love song about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard high up on a fertile slope.

2He trenched it, cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice red vines; in the middle he built a watch-tower and also hewed out a wine vat. He expected it to yield choice grapes, but all it yielded was a crop of wild grapes.

3Now, you citizens of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.

4What more could have been done for my vineyard than I did for it? Why, when I expected it to yield choice grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

5Now listen while I tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I shall take away its hedge and let it go to waste, I shall break down its wall and let it be trampled underfoot;

6I shall leave it derelict. It will be neither pruned nor hoed, but left overgrown with briars and thorns. I shall command the clouds to withhold their rain from it.

7The vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is Israel, Judah the plant he cherished. He looked for justice but found bloodshed, for righteousness but heard cries of distress.

8Woe betide those who add house to house and join field to field, until everyone else is displaced, and you are left as sole inhabitants of the countryside.

9In my hearing the LORD of Hosts made this solemn oath: “Great houses will be brought to ruin, fine mansions left uninhabited.

10Five acres of vineyard will yield only a gallon, and ten bushels of seed return only a peck.”

11Woe betide those who rise early in the morning to go in pursuit of drink, who sit late into the night inflamed with wine,

12at whose feasts there are harps and lutes, tabors and pipes and wine; yet for the work of the LORD they have never a thought, no regard for what he has done.

13Therefore my people shall go into captivity because they lack all knowledge of me. The nobles are starving to death, and the common folk die of thirst.

14Therefore Sheol gapes with straining throat and opens her enormous jaws: down go the nobility and people of Jerusalem, her noisy throng of revellers.

15Mankind is brought low, everyone is humbled, and haughty looks are cast down.

16But the LORD of Hosts is exalted by judgement, and by righteousness the Holy God reveals his holiness.

17Lambs will feed where fat bullocks once pastured, young goats will graze broad acres where cattle grew fat.

18Woe betide those who drag wickedness and sin along, as with a sheep's tether or a heifer's rope,

19who say, “Let the LORD make haste: let him speed up his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel be soon fulfilled, that we may know it.”

20Woe betide those who call evil good and good evil, who make darkness light and light darkness, who make bitter sweet and sweet bitter.

21Woe betide those who are wise in their own sight and prudent in their own esteem.

22Woe betide those heroic topers, those valiant mixers of drink,

23who for a bribe acquit the guilty and deny justice to those in the right.

24As tongues of fire lick up the stubble and chaff shrivels in the flames, so their root will moulder away and their opening buds vanish like fine dust; for they have spurned the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and rejected the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25So the anger of the LORD is roused against his people, and he has stretched out his hand to strike them down; the mountains trembled, and corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this his anger has not abated, and his hand is still stretched out.

26He will hoist a standard as a signal to a nation far away, he will whistle them up from the ends of the earth, and they will come with all speed.

27None is weary, not one of them stumbles, no one slumbers or sleeps. None has his belt loose about his waist or a broken thong to his sandals.

28Their arrows are sharpened and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs are like flint, their chariot wheels like the whirlwind.

29Their growling is like that of a lion, they growl like young lions; they roar as they seize their prey and carry it beyond reach of rescue.

30Their roaring over it on that day will be like the roaring of the sea. Anyone who looks over the land sees darkness closing in, and the light overshadowed by the gathering clouds.
